KOLOHE ANDINO AND NAGE MELAMED WIN GROMSEARCH NATIONAL FINAL Kolohe Andino wins the 2009 Gromsearch National final at Salt Creek riding his Scorcher model Mayhem shape. The 15 year old from San Clemente defeated Nathan Carvalho(2nd), Taylor Thorne(3rd) and Koa Smith(4th) to take the win. Kolohe won a trip to Bells Beach to surf in the International final during the Bells WCT or WT or whatever they call it now.
Nage Melamed wins the Girls division riding her old faithful STEALTH. Nage was on fire the whole week as she arrived a few days early to work on her small wave surfing. Looks like the early arrival paid off as she was able to take out Lake
"Who gives a shit? Does it really matter? Really?"
That's Matt Biolos' take on who should be named 2010 Shaper of the Year. It’s July, somewhere in the backyard of an East Coast cantina, as far from the SoCal hype machine as you can get without a passport. And with a single glance around the scene, it's clear that he's right. Here, at a midsummer “industry party,” the crowd is actually 50 college kids playing corn hole – not what it sounds like, but near
11/13/09: First day of competition was held yesterday in some marginal surf. Waves were small and inconsistent which led to a lot of jockeying and basically luck to get through the heats. In the most stacked heat of the day Mason Ho, who likes to wear Gorkin's signature trunks rather that his, lost by less than a point but he did manage to do the turn of the heat. James "Taipan" Wood, Cory Lopez and Dylan Melamed all advanced out of their heats and into th
11/8/09: San Clemente's Nate Yeomans Wins the 2009 6 Star Cold Water Classic at Steamer Lane. Nate moves into 8th place on the WQS and most likely a spot on the 2010 WCT. Congratulations Nate on your win today - but it ain't over til it's over - and with the last two 6 star prime events in Hawaii coming up - there still is potential for many scenarios. As its always tough to get a result at Haleiwa or Sunset, Yeomans will have to keep the fire alive.
Nate seems to win em on the West Coast the way Gorkin wins em on the East Coast and they ride the same kind of boards. Nate won on a rou

Eddie took four skins in the event and the overall title. He won the "Most Experimental Maneuver Award" for his backside air shuvit (though he grabbed to help spin the board underneath him...so maybe it was a varial???), which scored an 8.3. That was done during an actual skins heat, not the airshow, a heat that also had Bryan Hewitson and Oliver Kurtz in it. As part of the award, Kelly is going to "shape" Eddie one of his ...Full Story

10/28/09: Mick Fanning beats Bede Durbidge in the final. Joel Parkinson gets 3rd. The title race is going to come down to Pipe. Parkinson's ankle might be bad but if he proved one thing in this contest it's that he can still tube ride with the best. His 10 in the quarter-finals was mental and he did get two tens at Pipe last year so he could have a slight edge over Mick out there. If Fanning gets 3rd at Pipe then Parko has to win. If Fanning gets 2nd at Pipe it's all over. Of

Parko takes it over a amped up Adriano. I guess that goes without saying. But how good is Joel Parkinson surfing at the moment. Tens in both the semi and the Final. With his other scores being high 8's or 9's. Effortless is how i would describe his surfing at the moment. It looks as though Parko has decided its his time to win a World Title. We all know how much talent he has, but we also know that to win a world title you must have the mental game intact and working full time. Its probably 80% mental out there in those WCT heats.

The waves at Pipe were heavy to say the least with solid 10 foot sets (maybe bigger depending on where you're from) coming through. Mason charged the whole contest and had to beat out Pipe heavies like Pancho Sullivan to secure a spot in the 2009 WCT Pipe Masters this December (the same contest Ward placed 2nd at in 2008).

SI PRO UPDATE!! PAT GUDAUSKIS WINS 1/10/08 San Clemente's Pat Gudauskis won the SI Pro against another San Clemente local Mike Losness. He dedicated the win to our good friend Jack Meyer who passed away last year at this time while jogging in Melbourne Beach. Waves were 2 foot (shoulder high+ sets), glassy and fast - resembling a semi-closed out mix between Rivvi and the Pier. Semifinalists were Sterling Spencer and Nathaniel Curran. Asher Nolan had the highest heat scores that last few rounds but the waves starved him in the quarters.
We had a long day in the sun which was a sweet change from the last few days.

5 5 REDUX PREMIERE- ET SURF HERMOSA BEACH - STICKER BANDIT STRIKES The cold weather didn't stop the Sticker Bandit from stopping by ET and achieving a great success at the ...LOST movie premiere in Hermosa. Looks like he passed on the hot dogs and hamburgers and went for the giveaways, but we already gave them to the groms. The sticker bandit seems to be running low on product and has resorted to robbing from kids to finance his guerrilla sticker war. Also reports from the scene have the sticker bandit screaming "SUCCESS, SUCCESS" as he ran away with the loot. Mayhem stickers, ...LOST board logos, Planet Team logos, and one other.

CHUCKILUPO APPEARS-30TH BDAY FRIDAY CHUCKilupo has appeared and the local community is once again normal as the local legend has been spotted. Living in a garage in the south of town, near his favorite spot, inside Cotton's. Chucky won't tell anyone where he disappeared too, but many are thinking it was a two-week binge on some sort of substance. It's called High on Life, and if you have ever been around chukilupo than you know its contagious and addicting. After the one time, in 2005 when he edged out a fellow competitor for the coveted 11th place in the HB surf series. And its been an uphill battle, I mean, journey since th ...Full Story

Cheers and whistles crowded the room during Cory's left. I heard some groms asking each other "how long is this wave?" and "where is this spot?" Unfortunately noone actually knows where the secret left is not even Cory and Ian and Alex. They were blindfolded from the airport and never actually s

After some of the best steak and some early Steiny's the boys were feeling good. The party was in conjunction with the Surfrider Foundations environmental awards.

In a pretty wave starved final, Kelly just found the secret pockets, the way he usually does, ending Ward's roll..
Slater paddled out in eight to 10 foot waves at Pipeline four times today, beating Chris Ward (USA) 14.00 to 7.23 in the in the first man-on-man final* held at the venue in eight years.
"It was disappointing that the waves didn't really turn on for us in the final," Slater said. "That's what we are here for, to put on a show for people - at least give them some big wipeouts or something. In the final there we

SUNSET BEACH-WQS 6 STAR - New Video Highlights Sunset Beach, Oahu-Oneill World Cup
Contest is Over.
1st=CJ Hobgood-2nd=Tom Whitaker-3rd=Markus Hickman-4th=Jordy Smith
The waves were absolutely perfect for the final day at Sunset for Oneill's World Cup..Couple guys qualified like Barca and Kekoa so the Hawaiians are well represented next year. IAN WALSH made the semis and was skunked that ever important second score, which is tough to find out at Sunset, I know i surfed the event from 1995-2002. Not the easiest contest venue. Next stop the Pipe Masters. I will be heading over to personally cover the action, live. Che ...Full Story

5 5 REDUX PREMIERES-EAST COAST DATES Here are the dates and locations. This is just the guy making the video typing this in the middle of the night, sleeping in the video room, flying back and forth from Florida and California, sending promo requests to employees(six at a time), and running a company from behind the scenes, cuz no one else will put it up here(since Joe went on vacation) even though it's been on the list to do for 3 days... but the premieres are this week (and free) so here goes...
TONIGHT - Dec 3rd at the KNIGHT LIBRARY @ UCF hosted by the Surf Club. (right next to USS Catalyst). 9pm.
The movie premiere went off this last friday at the Catalyst, ...LOST headquarters in San Clemente. Slater returned to the probably the only shop to ever be kicked out of (17 years ago before he won Lowers he wanted a ding repair and the drunk then-owner booted him -but then repaired it the next day). Shetler built the stage where the Scrid Hunters played traditional punk rock for all in attendance. And it was some damn good shit. Robo was in attendance. The local hoodlums, many groms and their unsuspecting parents, even 9 time WORLD CHAMPIONS
ANOTHER SHOP OF THE WEEK - FREEDOM VIRGINIA BEACH If the guys at our surfboard factory give a shop props then we gotta feature it on this site.

Really knowledgeable place when it comes to all things surfing (and fashion surprisingly too). Good looking girls all over the place too. The shop even gets the local artists - trading surf gear for paintings and prints - something missing in the world of surf shuckers who by their very existence will help pop-surf culture di ...Full Story
ECO WARRIOR- JAMES PRIBRAM FIGHTS AGAINST -no surf law- in CHICAGO We told him to be on the frontlines.. This time James is off to Chicago to challenge their "no surf" law drawn up on the books decades ago, after a tragic accident involving three girls and an inflatable life raft.
The point is to allow skilled surfers be able to use the beaches at their own risk..
Look at the attached photos from his first trip out that had the police stirred up but baffled.

IF YOU DONT SURF, DONT START. In our latest attempt to alienate potential customers we offer the new ad campaign: IF YOU DON'T SURF - DON'T START! I can't believe our ad guys actually came up with something so simple yet true.
That is until I was flipping through an old surf mag and found these timeless words used by Gotcha 20 years ago. But raises were already given and even knowing it was someone's campaign 20 years ago - we're still running with it.

HALEIWA PRO- WQS 6 STAR - VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS Contest is over. What an epic day of surfing after the wind switched. Im glad I turned on the computer when the quarters started. Haleiwa was a bigger version of V-land. Spitting barrels across the reef. More of a tube fest than a actual contest. Wardo had a good run until a shocker quarter which saw him out of position and out of rhythm. But then he did get a sick barrel and then did a couple of flowing hard hacks and got a 6. Most people at home were thinking 8+ which at least would have gotten him out of a combo situation. Was it a statement that the end is near? Why do t ...Full Story
